To evaluate the accuracy of the defining characteristics of the nursing diagnosis for "fatigue in women with breast cancer under radiotherapy".
Study of diagnostic accuracy, with cross-sectional design, performed in 130 women with breast cancer under radiation treatment. A data collection instrument was used to evaluate clinical socio-demographics and to investigate the presence or absence of defining characteristics for fatigue. The latent class analysis model was applied to assess accuracy measurements of the characteristics identified.
Fatigue diagnosis was present in 21.9% of the women. The characteristic which showed the highest sensitivity was "Impaired capacity in maintaining the usual level of physical activity", while "Impaired capacity in maintaining usual routines" and "Lack of interest about the surrounding environment" presented greater specificity.
Accurate diagnostics allow devising an action plan directed to the patients' real needs.
评估“放疗期乳腺癌女性疲劳”护理诊断定义特征的准确性。
采用横断面设计进行诊断准确性研究,对130例接受放射治疗的乳腺癌女性进行研究。使用数据收集工具评估临床社会人口统计学特征,并调查疲劳定义特征的存在与否。应用潜在类别分析模型评估所确定特征的准确性测量。
21.9%的女性存在疲劳诊断。敏感性最高的特征是“维持日常身体活动水平的能力受损”,而“维持日常活动的能力受损”和“对周围环境缺乏兴趣”具有更高的特异性。
准确的诊断有助于制定针对患者实际需求的行动计划。
